I have been working on trying to find the silence in the noise lately as well. I think that since everything is interdependant that there is some silence in noise. A type of harmony that exists if we can learn to open up to it. It's been hard for me as I find a lot of noise to be so jaring but I am starting with music and birds chirping and trying to work out from there. I don't know if any of this makes sense but these kind of things are always hard to describe in words.

So basically, I want to get to the point of being at peace and in balance in the middle of chaos as I can in silence.

About Me

A Zen Buddhist who follows in the tradition of Vietnamese Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh but I enjoy teachings from all Buddhist traditions. In addition, I am influenced by Taoism and Secular Humanism. I am also a nature lover and live with Schizo-Affective Disorder. The blog is titled, "The Buddhist Blog" because it was all that I could think of for a name. It does not mean that somehow I think my blog is the definitive blog on Buddhism. It is not. It is one traveler's footprints and nothing more. I am not a Buddhist teacher. This blog is a journal of my humble travels as I try to follow the middle path of Buddhism. Take my hand and walk with me for awhile. I have a university degree in U.S. History with a special emphasis in African history. As well as a minor in World Geography.
